I echo the comments about Peter Sallis. My first memory of him though, when I was still a teenager, was his role as Samuel Pepys in a BBC series in the late 50's. Why I should remember that, I'm not sure, but he was a fine actor.

That was the role I immediately thought of when I heard of his death today. I'm glad he had a decent innings.
 
I used to watch Trumpton, Camberwick Green and Chigley with our kids when they were young - they are now 47 and 49. We've still got a long-playing record of some of the songs somewhere.

Interestingly, only 13 episodes of each of the three series were ever made - 39 in total. They must have replayed them endlessly in the 1960s and 1970s.

In our area the fire brigade is often known as Trumpton by some people. Is this a general thing or just in the Bristol area?
 
RIP Chester Bennington.

The lead singer with rock band Linkin'Park died in an apparent suicide at home on Friday 21st July.
Chester had been suffering from depression for a while,but it is believed that his grief over the the passing of his close friend Chris Cornell was just too much.
Linkin'Park are one of those bands that will split opinion,and I have to admit that I didn't know that much about them until about 10 or 11 years ago. It was shortly after discovering Brums own Kerrang music station that I started hearing the likes of Linkin'Park on a regular basis.Many of their songs tell of the darker sides of love,life,relationships and the world in general.Most of which came from personal experiences,which makes his suicide all the more tragic.Chester suffered abuse as a child.
Chester had 6 children.5 from 2 marriages plus 1 adoption.Terribly sad for those kids,family and band mates.
 
RIP Carol Lee Scott Grotbags the witch

She used to terrify my little sister when we were kids. I still have visions of her diving behind the sofa whenever she came on TV :) Apparently I used to be scared of The Hulk so maybe our family has issues with green people.

Rest In Peace Carol and thanks for the memories.
 
I can't believe John Heard was 71. Time really does pass by so quickly. Grotbags was simply brilliant. Kids today don't know what they're missing.

Hi, I was born and lived in B36 for a long time - Lindale Avenue, just around the corner from Hodge Hill Comp.
I just noticed your postcode on a post.

Do you still live in the area?
survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 2nd time
If you’re tired of takeoffs, you’re tired of life.
49 trips undertaken last year. First done this year which was to North Wales where surprisingly the only slippery surfaces were in Conwy with the castle and it's walls closed due to the ice.
